Hole #1 -
Many golf courses start out with an easy hole, one that provides a smooth transition from the driving range to the first tee. But, the Lonnie Poole Golf Course isn’t one of them. The large sloping native bunker on the right side of the fairway forces the player to hit their tee shot up the left side. Driving it in the bunker is a mistake you don’t want to make. The second shot also should be played up the left side of the fairway to about 100 yards where the undulating fairway levels out for a flat shot into the green. Stay away from the right side the entire length of the hole and don’t let your approach shot carry over the green. It falls off sharply.
